Recharging the Soul through Prayer, Worship and Service to Humanity
Prayer and worship are central aspects of Bahá’í life, both as individuals and as a community. The Bahá’í Writings state that prayer, in its highest form, is an expression of love and gratitude for one’s Creator. Prayer can be likened to food for the soul and is a means of attracting divine assistance and blessings. Prayer is not limited to words, but is a state of being that, ultimately, finds expression in our deeds.
Bahá’ís gather with their friends and neighbours to pray and reflect upon the Bahá’í Sacred Texts. These simple gatherings generate a spirit of collective worship that inspire acts of service and increase the spiritual character of neighbourhoods and communities
“The human family should be the cause of love and harmony”
~ Abdu'l-Baha
There is no established ritual and no solicitation of funds. Readings are taken from a variety of spiritual sources, for example, from the Holy Scriptures of Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism and the Bahá’í Faith in order to create an environment of unity and harmony.
